No way is this movie a 5.5 so I am rating as a 10 to offset this. I think it's a solid 8. It is very uneven in both screenplay and performances, but visually stunning with epic themes and some solid acting by Adam Driver. I very much appreciate the audaciousness of it and Coppola self funding it. Baller move! We just don't see large budget "auteur" films anymore. There is no way a studio would fund such a film and for good reason. The CGI was also a bit uneven but I can forgive that for the amazing things it was used for and the uplifting themes of a better utopian world. Despite it's flaws I think it's a classic!
